"I think I can beat him in a lot of other places. Obviously there's a big skill discrepancy with the grappling, but I can touch him up too, don't worry about that,"
"I noticed when I watched tape on him, he had more composure in his second UFC fight than he did in his first. That might be because of his opponent difference, but I don't really care,"
"I'm at peace with it, but I do have to remind myself quite often. It's a constant war between wanting to do more and knowing when to rest and stuff,"
Junior Tafa's removal from the UFC Perth card moved Jimmy Crute into the co-main event slot against Ivan Erslan. Crute expresses confidence in defeating Erslan across multiple areas, acknowledging a grappling discrepancy but asserting striking ability to 'touch him up.' Crute suggests Erslan may be overthinking the UFC opportunity despite showing more composure in his second fight. Crute attributes his exciting fights to his natural style rather than deliberate pursuit of barnburners. A prior self-imposed sabbatical taught Crute the importance of rest and recovery, and he now works to balance drive with regular reminders to rest.
